Which of the following factors may restrict the field of view of a passenger car's driver?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
C. Driving when being intoxicated.
Explanation
The driver's field of view is restricted by driving while intoxicated - answer C. Blinking during a break in driving (A) and a quarter of an hour's rest after two hours of driving (B) are things that help your eyesight.
Alcohol slows down the brain: your eyes react more slowly to movement, you judge distances less well, and your field of view narrows as if you were looking through a pipe - you do not notice a pedestrian stepping out from the side or a car coming from a side road. The Road Traffic Act prohibits a person who is intoxicated or after drinking alcohol from driving a vehicle, and driving while intoxicated is a crime. A simple rule: if you have been drinking, you do not drive - not even a few kilometres on an empty road.
Legal basis: Art. 45 para. 1 point 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym); Art. 178a of the Criminal Code
